So-- I have the two trunk pieces, two wheel arch pieces, and the two metal pieces for the door side panels.
Since the TIS site is no longer with us, I stopped by the body shop that painted/installed my Euro-spec bumper to get an estimate. I figured that since most people who've done this have done it in 3-4 hours it would be somewhere in this ballpark. Since I can't access TIS and don't know how the body comes apart, I figured "Why not?"
The answer? FOURTEEN HOURS of labor.
I was a little shocked, as I was thinking somewhere around six, tops.
Now, I guess I have to figure out how to do this on my own when I get a free day-- and who knows when that'll be?
Sigh. And I *like* that body shop-- they do good work.
